Export certificates for medicinal products

Updated 02 February 2015

An export certificate is a declaration from the Danish Health and Medicines Authority based on a manufacturing authorisation for a Danish company, an issued marketing authorisation for a specific medicinal product or a requested inspection. The company fills in an export certificate form, and the Danish Health and Medicines Authority then issues the certificate. The export certificate is used to certify the medicinal product or the manufacturer when exporting medicinal products.

In addition to export certificates, we issue an EU GMP certificate after each completed GMP inspection if the inspected company operates according to the EU GMP guidelines. GMP certificates are issued using a community format published by the EMA, see the Community procedures on the EMA website. We will phase out the issuance of CGMP (no. 3) as the EU GMP certificates become more widely used and recognised in the countries requiring documentation for GMP compliance.
